Assassin next door

Sasuke held tightly onto his seatbelt as Naruto drove them recklessly in his car. Despite her hazardous driving she hadn’t hit a thing, the curb, a person nor an animal the entire way to her Florida beach house.

It made him wonder a few things, about her family and about her in general. They were closer to each other yet he didn’t know anything personal. Well, not quite. He knew about her childhood trauma that had paved her life after. Her professional life she kept to herself which he could accept readily, he did do the same thing after all.

Naruto seemed to notice his distress so she lowered the radio volume almost completely as she spoke up, “So what’s on your mind, eh?”

He looked at her, taking in the sight of her dressed as a male, her shoulder length hair was tied up in a half pony tail, only the front being tied and the rest being completely down. It made people question her gender yet her clothes and hidden figure made them believe she was simply a very pretty boy.

“Stuff. I was thinking how I know stuff about you but I don’t ever talk about me. Are you fine with that?” not quite what he was thinking yet didn’t have it in him to admit he was thinking about her.

“I’m very understanding after the crappy cards I’ve been dealt, Sasuke. We live together, it’s not like I don’t have time to get you talking. If you don’t want to talk, I get it. If you want to, I’ll obviously start asking.” She changed lanes, at the beachy area. They had made their way to Florida in a few hours  by flight taking their car with them and were navigating their way to this secluded area where her family’s beach house was at.

“Ask away.” He found himself saying causing her to look startled, clearly not having expected that.

“Are you serious?” he leaned over and kissed her forehead before waving his hand for her to start, which she did. “Well… tell me about your family. I know your parents have been dead for a while and your brother raised you but that’s all I know.”

He hesitated, unsure how to answer without her noticing his family were the ones who were supposed to raise her. “Well… my dad died working, bodyguard work like us. When my mum found out she killed herself, unable to take living without him, despite the fact that she had my brother and me. They both did a lot for us growing up, accepting my brother during this stage he and Shisui were pretending to date-”

“Oh I need a back story on that.” She was grinning like the Cheshire cat as he chuckled.

“It was basically this thing I came up with to make the fangirls get away from them. They would bother him less if they though he was into men and Shisui was very compliant. The girl he was dating was made aware of what was going on and was okay with it, she seemed to really enjoy herself when she went out in public with them. After Itachi finished high school they stopped the façade. Oh, he went to high school a lot younger than you’d think since he graduated from there at 15.”

She whistled, impressed at his achievement, “Where did you guys live? We speak often in Japanese and you speak fluently and not with an accent.” They made another turn, causing him to frown. He was almost positive they had already drove past this rode, but he could be mistaken.

“We uh, lived in Konoha…”

This caused both her brows to rise, “I find that odd. Both of us are from the same place but and we speak fluently without accents in both languages. Ah, we’re here.”

She gestured to a yacht causing him to raise his brow, this was not what he had been expecting. At seeing his expression she chuckled whilst undoing her seat belt, “We’re taking the yacht to the beach house. You know how there are small island-like things on the outskirts of Florida?” when he nodded she continued, “Well there’s this small island not far from there that has a beach as well as the beach house. It’s off the radar since it has several scramblers which only allow devices to work when they get a certain code, password and other things. It can’t be hacked, as soon as someone tries it sets off a set of triggers that will destroy the device doing the hacking and it will take in the feed of the person doing the hacking as well as their picture.”

He raised a brow as he followed her lead, getting out of the car as they took their duffle bags out. They made their way to the yacht where a dark skinned platinum blonde man with black sunglasses waved them up.

Naruto grinned at him and they gave each other a fist bump as they greeted each other. Sasuke took a notice that the man spoke in very bad raps.

It took the two of them a total of ten minutes to bring everything from the car as he directed two other people, a girl and boy, to go do something. He then bid them farewell as they all made their way off the yacht.

“Wait, wait, wait. If they are all going, who’s driving?” 

Naruto smiled as she gave him a kiss to the cheek, “I am.”

His heart beat accelerated, she was a dangerous driver on the road never mind how she travelled on sea, “Do you have a license?”

“Of course. Don’t worry, I’ve been doing this for a while. Before I met you I would be sent to places like this every so often…”

She looked over at the boy who came back to them, his brows were furrowed as he spoke in her ear. Whatever he said caused her to groan as she mumbled in Japanese.

She turned to him with an apologetic look on her face, “There’s something wrong and we can’t go to the beach house. Well we could go on a boat but I don’t want others to know about it…”

He went to her placed a hand on her shoulder, “I don’t mind. We can go back and find a hotel to stay in. we don’t have to get me a tan and we can do whatever we want in the hotel.”

She bit her lower lip as she contemplated what to do. In all honesty, Sasuke didn’t care where they were, just as long as they were away from his brother and job. As well as internet to keep up with anything the damn company wanted him to do.

---------------------

Naruto mentally went through all the swear words she knew in all languages she knew. It wasn’t many, English, Japanese, Urdu and Arabic.

She glared as she drove them to a safe hotel that her mother’s side of the family owned. She was pissed off that her plans were being ruined by some idiot who decided to damage her lovely yacht.

Someone had tampered with the sails, mostly just graffiti and the tiniest of holes, however the fact that someone had come onto her property was enough to put her on high alert and she knew when she got the chance she had to inform Inaho about it as well as Jiraiya so they could look into it, as if they all didn’t have enough problems.

It didn’t take her very long to find one, after all the Uzumaki branched into the Senju and Namikaze as well as other smaller clans.

Once they arrived Sasuke hastily left the car causing her to look at him confused, did he not like her car? “Sasuke would you mind getting some of our bags whilst I check us in? I’ll bring the rest of them in-”

“You just check us in, once that’s done I should have bought everything out.” He waved for her to go so she tossed him her keys, pointing to where the reserved parking for her family was. Those keys also happened to have the key required to open the garage for her family as well, and went inside directly to the desk clerk.

“Hi, I’d like the penthouse suite for a few days.” She said as she rummaged through her pockets for her wallet that had her I.D’s in.

“I am sorry sir that is reserved for members of the Uzumaki family only.” 

She took out her wallet and gave him her I.D which stated she was a male called Naruto Uzumaki, “There should be no problem with me booking it then. I’d like my name to be anonymous, I’m here incognito and all.”

The clerk’s, who’s name badge read Erik, face went a bright pink as he stuttered out an of course and went straight to it yet when she saw Sasuke coming in she asked him to keep her last name a secret.

Sasuke wrapped an arm around her shoulders as he glared at a guy not far from them, “Sirs, if you will allow me, I will personally escort you to the penthouse.”

“No need. We’ll take ourselves there. Is there an express elevator or do we use the public one?” Naruto knew exactly where Sasuke was going with him questions and mentally debated whether or not she should berate him for considering it.

“There is a express elevator for the penthouse, sir.”

“Did you take Kurama and Kuro out of the car as well?” she asked Sasuke, as she couldn’t see their cages anywhere.

“Shit. Give me a sec, I’ll go-”

“No, no, no. I’ll go. Um, just get the keys and I’ll grab anything you didn’t see as well.” She left hurriedly to get them, knowing Kurama hated being caged for long periods of time like their travel had been.

Going into the garage she unlocked her car and took a hold of both their cages. Kurama growled for having been locked up and left alone whilst Kuro simply meowed. She looked around the car and noticed he had left her satchel there as well. Most likely due to not seeing it, it was under the seats after all.

Picking that up also Naruto made her way to the express elevator, ignoring as the other guests stared incredulously at her, most likely due to the fact she was carrying a grumpy looking fox that looked like he would kill everyone in sight.

She joined Sasuke along with their luggage by the express elevator, placing their pets down in the staff elevator who would take their things upstairs. #she went in the express elevator and as soon as the doors closed, she wasn’t disappointed.

Within less than three seconds Sasuke had her hair undone, back against the wall and wrists gripped in his hands, barring her from touching him, and lips devouring her own.

He kissed her like he argued, with no room for discussion, no denying or hiding what he thought or what he wanted. Unyielding. His lips, despite his cold personality, were hot against her own. She felt him try to enter her mouth, but she wouldn’t allow him access.

Of course, that set him off. His hand that was restraining her own ones found their way to her clothed rear, yet she refused to do what every female did in books. She refused to gasp and allow him entrance, and decided to refuse him further.  

He grinned, clearly enjoying the challenge as he hoisted her up against the wall, legs around his waist as his hands found their way crawling up her chest bindings, untying them to grasp her front firmly.

This time she could not supress her moan, and she internally cursed. She had planned on making this more of a challenge.

One part of her demanded to fight for dominance, the other part fought to be dominated. By him and him alone. The way his lips felt against her own, the way his hands felt over her body, the feel of him between her, she knew he wished for her to allow him to dominate. Yet when he dominated her, he loved her.

Smiling she allowed him to do as he pleased as the doors opened and he made their way into the room. The next thing she knew, she was being placed on her feet and then her front made contact with a long sturdy table. Or at least she hoped it was.

He leaned over her back, mouth next to her ear, “Do you trust me?”

The fact he cared to ask made her heart warm more than it was already. However he didn’t need to ask, she would trust him no matter what.

Nodding, he gave her a kiss before he devoured her very being.

---------------------

Sasuke walked quietly around the room as to not interrupt Naruto’s short nap. The flight, drive and their activities had left her tiered so he had suggested she go to sleep whilst he did some stuff he needed to do.

What he needed to do was first to check the room for anything suspicious and after fifteen minutes of sweeping the area he found there was none. He looked back to Naruto when she mumbled in her sleep about killing people.

He though it should be weird, his girl was just as dangerous as he was yet she wasn’t since she wasn’t an assassin.

He found one thing suspicious, Naruto and he had had similar circumstances about work recently. Naruto was off work due to information control and he was off work for a similar reason however Itachi had also stated it was because of staff safety. More specifically, the major clans that hailed from the elemental nations.

Of course this bought his mind to Uzumaki. He had yet to apologise for his team’s idiocy and he mentally cursed. The longer he waited, the worse the situation would get. Uzumaki was a hot head who would most likely cause a large scene because he waited so long.

He started to make his way over to the balcony however he stopped in his track when two phones rang. One was his own and the other was one he didn’t recognise. Naruto bolted straight up and reached for her satchel that was beside the sofa, mumbling under her breath. Choosing to prioritise his work right now, he reached into his pocket he took out his phone and answered immediately, knowing it was his brother’s number.

“Sasuke. You need to come to work. Immediately. We have a problem and all staff need to be back as quick as possible.”

“I can’t. Naruto and I left for Florida and we’re staying here.”

There was a short pause as his brother allowed what Sasuke said to sink in, “You left the state whilst we have a breach?”

“Look don’t sound so annoyed. We mentioned it before we left and now we have. You were fine with it then you should be now.” He replied, irritated by how he was sounding. Whatever the situation was, it seemed to have Itachi on edge since he was berating Sasuke for something he hadn’t even done wrong.

Itachi let out a long sigh as he muttered Japanese curse words. In fact, Sasuke was sure he was cursing in ancient Greek as well. Maybe Itachi had been reading Rick Riodran’s books again. “Well, if you can’t be here in person you need to video call us, no I’ll do it. You just need to answer the call and give your input. Do it on your laptop- you did bring it right?”

“Yeah. I told Naruto I would still be doing work whilst here so I bought it.”

“Good, good. Not such a foolish move little brother. I have to go and sort this out… Uzumaki will hopefully be video calling as well but Inaho hasn’t confirmed that.”

He furrowed his brows, “Where did he go?”

“Out of state. With his significant other.”

“I notice how you didn’t state a gender.” He stated.

“Shouldn’t make a difference little brother-” Sasuke felt a set of arms wrap around him, he could tell it was Naruto as she gave the back of his neck a kiss.

“Hey Itachi!”

Sasuke turned around one hand holding his phone to his ear and the other wrapped around her waist as she grinned up at him. With her whisker marks and her hair colour, she looked a lot like a fox. Fitting since she loved the animal.    

He gave her a smile as he tried to discreetly steer her away from his conversation, “I’ll do as you said, when?”

“Twenty minutes. More than enough time to get her distracted with something else, no?”

He hung up, not wanting to hear what his brother had in mind for Naruto and instead decided to focus on said blonde himself. Putting his phone in his pocket, he tried his best apologetic face. “I’m sorry, hime.” His lips twitched as he saw her blush. It was a new thing of his, he was call her princess in their mother tongue and she would turn red. “I have some work to attend to in a bit. My brother rang to tell me it had been left back home for Me.”

Not quite a lie, he had assumed Sasuke was at home and set his work under that assumption. Sasuke tried to justify the lie yet he could feel the stone in his stomach and throat as he lied to her face. The smile on her face made him feel worse and he made a mental not to make it up to her. He also had to give her a dinner as an apology.

“That’s fine, I’ve got some stuff to do anyway so I’ll do that whilst you do work… did you want me in a separate room?” her smile never dimmed as she looked at him, the feeling of guilt lessening yet worsening at the same time.

“Please.

It’s basically a meeting I’m needed in. Apparently my dear older brother forgot we were leaving the state and told me to come in. Clearly I can’t though. I have a half mind to refuse him and stay with you.” He muttered the last part against her neck as he gave her a gentle kiss there.

She gave a short laugh, making him smile. Removing himself from her neck he looked at her and played with her hair. She hadn’t combed through it after their activities and it was tangled. Although he was used to it, Naruto wasn’t a girl who liked brushing her hair at home and only did so for work or when they left home.

He gave her a kiss on her lips as they separated, getting their things to do what they needed to do.
